  • Moraines: Understanding Glacial Landforms - Types & Formation
    The glacial landform for mounds or ridges of till is called a moraine.

    Here's a breakdown of different types of moraines:

    * Terminal Moraine: A ridge of till marking the furthest advance of a glacier.

    * Recessional Moraine: A ridge of till marking a pause in the glacier's retreat.

    * Lateral Moraine: A ridge of till that forms along the sides of a glacier.

    * Medial Moraine: A ridge of till that forms in the middle of a glacier when two glaciers merge.

    * Ground Moraine: A thin, uneven layer of till that is deposited beneath the glacier.

    Let me know if you'd like to learn more about any of these moraines!
